Tom: Bbm
F#
She looked like Jackie Onassis
G#
Top of her classes
C#
I'm doin' my best just passin' by
[Verse 2]
C#
I'm so funny in my body I can barely walk
C#
And I'm so full of them funny feelings that I could barely talk
C# F#
And here comes Jackie Onassis
G#
Don’t need to ask it
C#
Have you ever seen a woman so fine?
[Refrain]
F#
She said, "Come on out just a couple hours
Bbm
We gonna have a real good time"
F Bbm
And I tell her, "Where ya goin', where ya goin', when ya comin' home?"
F#
Somebody in the front seat calls out, "Everyone
C#
Quit wastin' my time!
F#
Gotta hit the road and hit the road, hit the road"
F# G# C#
There they go and there they go and I was on my own
[Verse 3]
C#
I ain't never spoke my mind up in a crowded place
C#
I ain't got no cool demeanor and smooth talkin' ways
C# F#
'Cause I ain't like Jackie Onassis
G#
Girls in sunglasses
C#
Lookin' me up like I'm part of some game
[Verse 4]
C#
And well, the altercation happened 'round the tenth of May, ah
C#
Some poorly dressed spectator had somethin' unkind to say
C# F#
It comes back to me in flashes
G# C#
I get risky, there's a swing and a miss
C#
And I'm all ashamed
[Refrain]
F#
And when she found me I was in pieces
Bbm
Cryin' hard into my hat
F Bbm
And she tell me, "Mama, you look lovely when you take a stand"
F#
And I tell her, "No one's ever been so kind to me
C#
And I thank you for that"
F#
Said, "Here you go and here you go, here you go"
F# G# C#
Took her hair out the bow and laid that ribbon in my hand
[Chorus]
C#
Here we go!
F#
Look at that lady
Bbm
She carries herself right, she's singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
She's the first lady
Bbm
To walk me through the night, I'm singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
Oh, play, play, play
[horn solo] C# 8 beats
F# 2 beats G# 2 beats C# 4 beats
[Refrain]
F#
I got sunny days on a track field
Bbm
Laughin' hard, just me and mine
F Bbm
I got a great part in the spring play after all
F#
And I got my rose pink tinted glasses
C#
And they fit me just fine
F#
And I'll let it go and let it go, let it go
F# G# C#
[scatting]
[Chorus]
C#
Here we go!
F#
Look at that lady
Bbm
She carries herself right, she's singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
She's the first lady
Bbm
To walk me through the night, I'm singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
Look at that lady
Bbm
She carries herself right, she's singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
She's the first lady
Bbm
To walk me through the night, I'm singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
Look at that lady
Bbm
Little miss thing carries herself right, she's singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
F#
She's the first lady
Bbm
To hold my hand and walk me through the night, I'm singin'
C# Eb
Oh, ah, woah, ah, woah, ah
[Final Chorus]
F#
Look at that lady
Bbm
She carries herself right, she's singin'
C# Eb
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
F#
She's the first lady
Bbm
To walk me through the night, I'm singin'
C# Eb
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah
[Outro]
Ah ah ah ah
Woah ah
Ah ah ah ah
